Rare Dual Signed Program by Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin a Birthday Program for The Masquers Honoring Louella Parsons. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis teamed up in 1945 as comedy duo at nightclubs on the East Coast and proved a sensation. They lasted 10 years together and a lot of history made. Martin would sing and Jerry Lewis would interrupt and engage in slapstick like dressing as a busboy and dropping plates. Crowds ate up their schtick and spontaneous banter.

Louella Parsons was a gossip columnist who was celebrated and feared in equal measure - actually more toxic than her rival, Hedda Hopper. Parson's birthday was being honored by a fraternal entertainment organization called The Masquers. Their club/restaurant was on Sycamore in Hollywood and would frequently be the site of numerous events and tributes. This particular event had to have taken place August of 1952 or 1953. In the program "Martin and Lewis" (not even their full names!) were "At the Table of Honor" along side Edgar Bergen, Eddie Cantor, George Burns, the notorious "fixer" Eddie Mannix, Jack Warner, Darryl Zanuck and others. The turn out of luminaries speaks volumes the sway Parsons had with her column being carried by newspapers nationwide.

Both Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis have signed the back page of the program quite boldly. Know Martin & Lewis dual signed pieces are frequently fraudulent due to their value. LOA by James Spence included with the signatures quite obviously youthful. Program itself is quite interesting with "Our Lolly" in huge letters and the package remnant of what was a large lollipop with her face on it still inside. The program itself is quite rare as well 9.25 x 13" folded. A very desirable piece. Estimated Value $1,000 - 2,000

Alfred Hitchcock: Early Caricature Signed in Choice Condition (1899-1980) The Master of Suspense and one of the most studied and celebrated film directors of all time.

Here is a choice, early example executed on the back of a 5 x 3.75" card advertising a Duty Free shop in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Hitchcock has executed his caricature and signature in blue fountain pen ink and inscribed to "George". Based on the writing style, and the products/brands listed on the shop advertising on verso, this is likely from the mid-1950s. Estimated Value $500 - 900

Orson Welles: Typed Letter Signed on Mercury Productions, Inc. Letterhead dated 1941. Also 1945 Recording of Radio Broadcast of "Snow White" (1915-1985) Orson Welles, actor, director, producer, and screenwriter is remembered as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time. In 1937 he and John Houseman (Supporting Oscar winner for THE PAPER CHASE) founded the Mercury Theater whose critically smash productions offered a stable of incredible actors which he drew from in casting his films. Here Welles is responding to a request by Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb, at the time one of America's leading newspaper and magazine writers, a humorist of immense popularity. He writes declining an offer to involve himself in one of his charity efforts due to a conflict of one of his own. Of note this letter is written during the immense controversy of his film CITIZEN KANE still fully engaged against William Randolph Hearst and the execrable Louella Parsons and other controversies regarding its release.
On Mercury Productions, Inc. 11 x 8.5" inch letterhead and his name, Welles has signed boldly in red fountain pen ink. Light folds from original mailing, letter itself is pristine.
Also included is a rare vinyl recording, not a commercial issue, of Orson Welles recording Snow White for Cresta Blanca Wine a radio broadcast in 1945.
n the introduction to the show, Welles shares that it's his oldest daughter's seventh birthday and that he knows of no better story to share with her than Snow White. As one would expect, his narration is phenomenal. Jane Powell, who starred in the 1944 Screen Guild Theater performance, repeats her role as the princess. Excerpts of the songs from the film are performed throughout with live orchestra accompaniment. Broadcast of this show ran just at 30 minutes which appears to be in it's entirety on this recording. Broadcast can be heard on Orson Welles On The Air archived at CBS (and available on the internet.). Estimated Value $600 - 1,000

The black and white are all nitrate prints with deep blacks and greys, mostly studio and a bit more explicit. These are in excellent condition with zero having been addressed or mailed.
